“Has someone ever broken into your vehicle? We want to hear from you! If you answered yes, please comment below. How did it make you feel? What do you remember most about the experience?,” read a Vernon North Okanagan RCMP tweet Thursday, April 11.

Police also took the opportunity to remind people to protect themselves from a break in by making a nightly habit to check on vehicles every night around 9 p.m., to make sure nothing is left in plain sight, remove all vehicles and personal items when you leave the car, and be sure to lock and secure vehicles.
